The net effect could look amazingly similar to that of Smoot-Hawley. And if you don't know about Smoot-Hawley and its horrific effects you really don't know enough to even participate in the discussions and probably shouldn't be allowed to vote.
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of June 1930 raised U.S. tariffs to historically high levels. The original intention behind the legislation was to increase the protection afforded domestic farmers against foreign agricultural imports. Massive expansion in the agricultural production sector outside of Europe during World War I led, with the postwar recovery of European producers, to massive agricultural overproduction during the 1920s. This in turn led to declining farm prices during the second half of the decade. During the 1928 election campaign, Republican Presidential candidate Herbert Hoover pledged to help the beleaguered farmer by, among other things, raising tariff levels on agricultural products. But once the tariff schedule revision process got started, it proved impossible to stop. Calls for increased protection flooded in from industrial sector special interest groups and soon a bill meant to provide relief for farmers became a means to raise tariffs in all sectors of the economy. When the dust had settled, Congress had agreed to tariff levels that exceeded the already high rates established by the 1922 Fordney-McCumber Act and represented among the most protectionist tariffs in U.S. history.
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff was more a consequence of the onset of the Great Depression than an initial cause. But while the tariff might not have caused the Depression, it certainly did not make it any better. It provoked a storm of foreign retaliatory measures and came to stand as a symbol of the beggar-thy-neighbor policies (policies designed to improve ones own lot at the expense of that of others) of the 1930s. Such policies contributed to a drastic decline in international trade. For example, U.S. imports from Europe declined from a 1929 high of $1,334 million to just $390 million in 1932, while U.S. exports to Europe fell from $2,341 million in 1929 to $784 million in 1932. Overall, world trade declined by some 66% between 1929 and 1934. More generally, Smoot-Hawley did nothing to foster trust and cooperation among nations in either the political or economic realm during a perilous era in international relations.
The Smoot-Hawley tariff represents the high-water mark of U.S. protectionism in the twentieth century. Thereafter, beginning with the 1934 Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act, American commercial policy generally emphasized trade liberalization over protectionism. The United States generally assumed the mantle of champion of freer international trade, as evidenced by its support for the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the World Trade Organization (WTO).

OK, Here's where I am. NOBODY runs anything in the U.S. except companies or people that are free from influence from foreign sources of any kind. WE NEED TO GET OUT OF CRAP LIKE THIS. AMERICA FOR AMERICANS. PERIOD.

It's funny to watch the changes in attitude take place on the left. They start with "You can't search any arabs in the airports, Tha would be PROFILING" And now here they are "Get those shifty ARABS out of our ports!!!" Hypocracy at it's best and most entertaining!

Once again...
Iraq- no connections to 911/al Qaeda, no cooperation with western corporate big wheels. Invaded by U.S. military under false pretenses and its resources siezed. Mass misinformation and panic spread, as the new Bush anti-terrorist beurocracy machine comes to life. The mere mention of the word "bomb" can get your *** arrested. Standing too long and taking too many photos of a bridge can result in your *** hauled off for questioning. Everyone goes out and buys all the duct tape.
Saudi Arabia- Home to most of the 911 hijackers, including the mastermind, Osama bin Laden. High level of support for bin Laden and al Qeada within the populace. Many connections to terrorists. High level financial support for terrorists. Plays well with western corporate big wheels. Long history of support by the Bush family, in spite of atrocious way their "kingdom" is operated. Gets invited by the Bushies to control part of a critical infrastructure here on our own soil. Bush claims to have known nothing of the deal until it was over. Threatens to instantly veto any opposition, though. Bullcrap flags thrown by everyone, except the knee-jerk Bush-bots, who just can't admit they were wrong. Millions finally see the neocon Bushies for what they really are, and regret ever voting the fools into power.

AMONG MANY other things, the president's job description requires him to keep abreast of economic and political developments around the world; respond to disasters such as Hurricane Katrina; oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; appoint people to run embassies and government departments; come up with solutions to the health care crisis, the education crisis, the energy crisis; and represent the United States at major international conferences. When he does any of these tasks poorly, the American people and their politicians are well within their rights to criticize him, as we often do, too.
On the other hand, the president's job description does not include taking a personal interest in decisions about whether foreign companies based in countries that are America's allies should be allowed to purchase other foreign companies that are based in countries that are America's allies. This is particularly the case when such purchases do not have any discernible impact on American security whatsoever.
In other words, the White House's "admission" that President Bush was unaware that Dubai Ports World, a company based in the United Arab Emirates, had purchased Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., a company based in Britain -- and thereby obtained management control of the business operations of six U.S. ports -- strikes us as completely unnecessary. Why should the president know? Twelve government departments and agencies, including the departments of Treasury, State, Defense and Homeland Security, had examined the deal over a three-month period and found it acceptable. Perhaps the White House should have anticipated this week's political storm and prepared for it. But because the objections are irrational, even that complaint is questionable.
At a hearing yesterday, senators complained that they had not been notified of the transaction -- though, as Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert M. Kimmitt noted, the companies involved had issued a press release on the matter in November. Senators complained, in the face of considerable testimony to the contrary, that the government's review had been "casual" or "cursory." And, in attempting to cast aspersions on the reliability of the United Arab Emirates, they reached back to its behavior before Sept. 11, 2001 -- a standard of judging under which neither the Clinton nor Bush administrations would fare all that well.
In fact, as administration officials testified yesterday, since Sept. 11 the United Arab Emirates has been a valuable ally. Last year, according to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon R. England, 56 U.S. warships, 590 U.S. Military Sealift Command ships and 75 allied warships were hosted in the United Arab Emirates -- at a port managed by the very same Dubai Ports World. To our knowledge, none of the objecting members of Congress have expressed alarm at the national security implications of that situation. Yet the six ports now in question will be far less dependent on Dubai's goodwill, because security there is controlled by the Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, no matter who's doing the accounting. American longshoremen will load and unload cargo, no matter who pays their salaries.
If members of Congress really want to burnish their "tough on terrorism" credentials, they should start by focusing on real presidential lapses, which are sufficient, and forget about the phony ones. As Mr. England said yesterday, the war on terrorism demands that the United States "strengthen the bonds of friendship and security . . . especially with our friends and allies in the Arab world." That means allies should be treated "equally and fairly around the world and without discrimination," he said. And he suggested that it is the terrorists who want the United States to "become distrustful, they want us to become paranoid and isolationist."
If so, they must be feeling pretty content right now.

AP Newsbreak: Ex-Clinton official helped lobbyist defend Dubai ports deal
By DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press Writer
February 23, 2006, 4:19 PM EST
WASHINGTON -- A principal in former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's consulting firm went with a lobbyist to Capitol Hill to defend a Dubai company's ports security deal, but was rebuffed by Sen. Charles Schumer, The Associated Press has learned.
Carol Browner, the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency under Bill Clinton, is a principal at The Albright Group LLC.
On Feb. 14, Browner went to Capitol Hill with former Long Island Democratic congressman Tom Downey, a registered lobbyist, on behalf of the Dubai-based company DP World, whose approval to take over port operations at six major U.S. cities has created political havoc.
The Albright Group's role in the effort by DP World to win government approval illustrates the intersection of government, global commerce, and long-standing relationships among powerful people.
Albright's spokeswoman said she was not personally involved in the U.S. ports issue. But the company does work with Downey's lobby firm, Downey McGrath Group Inc., and Albright herself was in China consulting for DP World in recent days.
Both Albright's and Schumer's offices confirmed that Browner was present during the meeting. At the time, the senator was rallying opposition within Congress to the DP World deal.
"After we first criticized the deal, Browner and Downey met with our staff and were unpersuasive," said Schumer spokesman Israel Klein. "Senator Schumer is going to continue to fight this deal."
Downey did not return calls seeking comment.
Calls to Browner were referred to Albright Group spokeswoman Jamie Smith, who confirmed that Browner "definitely made some calls around and even went up and checked in with Sen. Schumer's office."
Smith would not say who Browner called.
Downey's Web site lists Albright as a client.
Smith acknowledged that The Albright Group referred DP World to Downey. But, she stressed: "We do not lobby. We didn't hire them on this."
During the past week, as U.S. criticism was building over the deal, Albright and others at her firm were working for DP World in China on trade issues there.
"Secretary Albright was in China with government officials and people in the private sector to help them better understand DP World's interests in China," said Smith, who declined to elaborate.
DP World is a state-run company based in the United Arab Emirates, which has sparked concern that their operation of U.S. terminals could lead to infiltration by terrorists.
Smith said DP World "is a great company, and we are going to continue to work with them on China," she added.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's spokesman, Philippe Reines, said neither Browner nor anyone else at Albright's firm sought to sway the senator on the issue. Clinton, D-N.Y., was one of the first lawmakers to offer legislation blocking the deal.
At a Thursday briefing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Clinton and other lawmakers pressed administration officials to explain their decision to approve the DP World deal.
Clinton called the approval process "a failure of judgment" because officials "did not alert the president, the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of defense" that several critical U.S. ports would be turned over to a foreign country.
Opponents of the deal are seeking an emergency floor vote in Congress next week to delay approval before a scheduled March 2 takeover of operations in the six U.S. ports.
The chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said Thursday the agency would file a lawsuit in New Jersey state court seeking to cancel the 30-year-lease for the marine operations at Port Newark that DP World would own.

Here, I brought your post from before, word for word. You do have quite the conspiracy theory going here; however, it is just that, a theory, speculation. What it is not is fact. I love it when people want facts for something they disagree with, yet expect others to just accept their opinion as fact, with no proof, period.
Proof, I have no proof. Its just what I think. We are still alowed to think here, or did GW target that as well?
What, now if someone questions your opinion you accuse them of restricting your right to free speech? Give me a break. Think and post what you like, just make sure youre prepared to defend it. I thought that was the American way, or has the left taken that from us now?

No profiling in the airports but keep those filthy animals out of the ports. Don't you know the democrats only want "white" foreigners to have those jobs? Brits - fine, arabs - No way! The lefts true colors are showing again! Hahahahaha

02-24-2006, 05:02 PM #66Noz, you are really stretching more then normal here .
American companies have made far more money providing contracted services to the Saudi's then they have or ever will provide us.
Don't worry noz - we'll get some nice white people to run the ports so your side won't feel uncomfortable with with it's naked racism!
You are getting more and more desperate in your paranoia.

02-24-2006, 05:04 PM #67We are not talking about heavily armed military bases on foreign soil; we are talking about multiple ports on OUR soil
If Bush had blocked this from the beginning, I am quite sure that many on the left would have taken the opposite position, and perhaps called him a racist, or a bigot.
I also find it odd how people are screaming now for keeping this control in the US, when in fact it hasnt been for some time now. If this indeed a true security threat, kick all of these other companies out, prevent any other companies from bidding.Last edited by jasper45; 02-24-2006 at 05:09 PM.

02-24-2006, 05:48 PM #71Easy friend. I was just giving my opinion, nothing more. We are still permitted opioins, are we not? And since it is an opinion, I have no facts. I never said I did, nor did I suggest this to be the absolute truth. Do you often jump on people for thier opinion?
Opinions are fine, but you did not refer to your theory as being that, it was spoken from a factual point of view. Thats all, no more or less.
In addition, yes, if I disagree with an opinion I will voice it; is there now something wrong with that? I always thought that is what debate was all about. If you dont like people questioning your opinion, dont voice it.
It really is not a big deal. I just found it odd that when confronted you make the accusation that I was somehow restricting your freedom of speech.

Have made the decision that staying clear of the political debates is the wisest course of action.
Yo 4th
I am curious if your opinions on this particular subject are something that the men at the firehouse kitchen table agree with. I know firemen and I know westsiders. I bet your're in the minority on this one. Be honest now
Why does this have to be a Left vs Right debate. How about a few people just give their gut feeling, you know, what YOU think. Not how each side is spinning it.
For me, I'm just not comfortable with the idea because that little voice in my head is yelling really loud right now.
Artie I think this is one case where the left and the right both want to take some time to sort through all of this.

Greetings from the Midwest! Hello everyone! I'm MaryMooCow22 and I'm super excited to be a member here at HorseForum. I've been to other forums before, and was not too happy with the way users treated each other. I've been looking around, and this place seems like the kind, caring place for me! A little bit about myself...well, I'm from Missouri (can I get a woot woot?! haha) and I love it here. Most of the time, anyways. I work as a stablehand at my local barn. I get to rotate turned-out horses, feed, muck, and other random jobs. It's pretty much awesome. I don't specifically own a horse, but I free lease a 5 year old paint gelding named Sage. His owner doesn't have a lot of time for him, so he asked me to work with him, groom him, and literally treat him like he's mine--so, you'll probably see me call him mine around here. It's much easier to type "my horse" than "the horse at the barn where I work that I free lease for a busy owner." Haha. Anywho, he's a doll. I'll put some pictures up ay-sap. Sage is greenbroke, and I ride Western, so we're still working on neck reining and polishing leg cues. He's getting much better, I'm proud to say. We're also working on cleaning him up; his previous owner neglected him, so he's super skinny and has bite marks all over him (my 15.2h baby was kept with a 17.3h monster that bullied him AND ate all his food...poor thing). He's also got a nice case of rain rot on his back, sides, and rump. But no worries--he's coming along nicely, and I hope to have him spick and span by summer vacation. He really is gorgeous, problems aside. And....this post is turning into a novel, so I think I'll stop now. See you around! |

Recipe by LAURA NASON
"This is an easy recipe that uses an unlikely part of a vegetable we love to eat. It's thick and rich, and so hearty. I recommend eating it with a loaf of crusty bread!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
2 medium potatoes, sliced
4 cups raw radish greens
4 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup heavy cream
5 radishes, sliced
This delicious soup was rich and creamy tasting even without the cream. I simply added extra broth after it was blended to adjust the thickness. I also added 3/4 cup of chopped celery and an extra potato to the cooking pot, along with a pinch each of dried parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. (Sing while you add these!) I was afraid at first to tell my teenaged son what I was making for dinner, but he helped, and the whole family loved the results.
This soup tastes much better than it looks while cooking! Resembles spinach soup, and one would never guess it's radish.

This was delicious, but trying to stay low fat I did not add heavy cream to the soup. Instead after ladling into the soup bowl I added a dollop of low fat sour cream and garnished with a brunoise of radish. I also use fresh radish tops mixed into tossed salads it gives it a nice texture.
Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly except for two things: I only let it simmer for 20 minutes, instead of 30 (I was short on time) and I didn't have any heavy cream on hand so I used 1/2 cup of raw whole milk, which has high cream content, so it worked well. You could probably cut the cream out if you wanted to cut some calories, but the milk did make it a bit creamier. I'll never throw my radish tops out again! This is now one of my husband's favorite soups - mine, too!
Another "wanted to use my radish greens instead of just throwing them out." I substituted milk for the heavy cream, which is a bit of a stretch but my goal was to combine ingredients on hand with radish greens into something edible, and this recipe met that goal admirably. Also, since potatoes, onions, and milk are all cheap, and the radish greens were "free", this made for an inexpensive side dish. And tasty as well. I will definitely be making this with our radish tops from now on! UPDATE: I have to change this to five stars because my wife has started buying radishes just so we can make this soup. She doesn't like radishes though, so now we're eating the tops and throwing away the radishes. Not what I had in mind when I searched for this recipe!
I altered the recipe a lot to use up what I had at home. I used milk ( instead of cream. I also added several radishes to the pureed mix to use them up, but I had no potatos so it was not as thick. I sauteed some onions, carrots, and celery and added them to the soup to give it some bulk. It was delicious, and I'm sure I could pass it off as spinach and no one would know. (Everyone was appalled when I told them I made radish soup) I think this recipe is great because radishes are so cheap.
WOW!!! Wasn't sure what to expect and this was wonderful! Even my uber-picky husband likes it!! Followed recipe to a tee, just added garlic and it was perfect.
Wow, who knew you could eat radish greens? By themselves I find them too bitter but in this soup they were good. I wanted a more potato soup kind of outcome, so I added a few more potatoes, chopped celery, about 2 TBS of minced garlic (I like garlic) and about 1 cup of chopped garden herbs (dill, lemon thyme, sage, rosemary). If you want more of a "punch" I'd follow the other reviewer's suggestion to add hot sauce, but if you're anti-spicy like me and just want to use up a ton of garden herbs and radish tops, you can't go wrong.

Sportsmen and their sweaters: knitting patterns as historical sources
Polley, Martin (2009) Sportsmen and their sweaters: knitting patterns as historical sources. In, Recording Leisure Lives: Sports, Games and Pastimes, Bolton, UK, 07 Apr 2009.
Full text not available from this repository.
Old knitting patterns are easy to see as ephemeral, disposable items, artefacts of everyday life that we can see in our memory on our mothers' laps, but that we don't readily picture in an archive. They are produced for a very specific purpose, and are not designed to become historians' sources. However, cultural historians and historians of everyday life can learn from them, and can use them as windows on to their time of production. Using sport-related knitting patterns from Winchester School of Art's Knitting Reference Library as a case study, this paper will look at what historians can get from this type of evidence: both empirical evidence about disposable income, materials, and technology, and household economics, and more subjective, cultural evidence about class, identity, and gender. The paper will build on the call that I made for sports historians to use wider variety of sources in Sports History: a practical guide (Palgrave, 2007).

Simulation of complex plasmonic circuits including bends |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 20, pp. 18979-18988 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1010 KB)
Using a finite-element, full-wave modeling approach, we present a flexible method of analyzing and simulating dielectric and plasmonic waveguide structures as well as their mode coupling. This method is applied to an integrated plasmonic circuit where a straight dielectric waveguide couples through a straight hybrid long-range plasmon waveguide to a uniformly bent hybrid one. The hybrid waveguide comprises a thin metal core embedded in a two–dimensional dielectric waveguide. The performance of such plasmonic circuits in terms of insertion losses is discussed.

How Does Your Garden Grow?
One of the things I've loved most about writing here is hearing your answers and advice. Something came up repeatedly in the comments on my most recent post about buying organic food, and I took it as a bit of a sign. You see, in response to a question I raised in my post focused on buying organic food, a number of people referenced GROWING their own fruits and vegetables. And like that, a light bulb went off...
I grew up in the suburbs, and my parents had a fantastic garden that they carefully tended to each spring and summer. We also had a cherry tree, and a strawberry patch. It was amazing, and I have a lot of happy memories from my childhood, helping to plant, weed, and of course eat the produce we had helped to grow.
I moved to New York City for college, and right into a cramped apartment. This became my new normal for nearly the next ten years. My husband and I got married, and both of our kids spent their first few years in apartments. We moved to our first house less than a year ago. It's been great for all the obvious reasons, and we've spent the past months making it ours. Now, we're ready to move on to the "extras;" the fun stuff like redecorating, and prettying up, and not the responsible, boring essentials you know, "OMG WE MUST REPLACE THIS AGED TOILET ASAP."
One of those "extras" about which I'm now fantasizing is a garden. I remember how much fun it was as a kid, and I'd love to have that same experience with my own children. It would be a wonderful way to teach them some basic responsibility, and give them a sense of where food comes from. It would also be a great way to get even more fresh fruits and vegetables into our diet without a ton of extra expense or effort. We even have a perfect corner in our backyard that I have my eye on.
But about that effort...for the gardeners among you, where do we begin? What are the hardest fruit and vegetables to kill? Given our location (New Jersey), I know we're not going to have much luck with a lemon grove or an avocado tree, but I would think that strawberries (like the ones I had growing up), tomatoes, and cucumbers (all of which my kids love to eat) should be (relatively) straightforward to get going. Am...am I right? Or am I underestimating this whole undertaking?
Do you have a garden? Do your kids participate with it? Are there any other recommendations (specific things that are easy to grow, timing, practical advice, etc.) that you have for us?
I had a garden during the years that the kids were small. They were not happy about helping in it. I even made them each a small garden and got them child-sized gardening tools and easy to grow veggies, but they had no interest. Easy to grow veggies are lettuce, beets, radishes, beans, squash, cherry tomatoes.
We are starting a garden thanks to a cooking class my son and I attended. It was a grdening 101 class where the kids learned to make a fresh tomato/cucumber salsa and tehn they planted mini gardens. We are growing, spinach, cherry tomatoes, brandywine tomatoes, beets and chard.

Arian Foster, RB, Texans
Position/Rank | ADP | NFL Team | Status | Experience | Age | Height | Weight | |
RB - #12 | 18.00 | HOU | Probable | 7 years | 28 | 6'1 | 228 | @ArianFoster |
2014 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick
Last updated on Jun-28-2014 by Mark Morales-SmithREMEMBER ME?: From 2010 to 2012 Arian Foster was arguably the best fantasy running back. He is a strong runner, great pass catcher and knows how to find the end zone. In 2013, Foster was solid when he played, but he also dealt with calf, hamstring and back injuries. In fact, his back injury was so severe it required surgery and ended his season after just eight games. Heading into 2014, Foster will no doubt be the feature back in Houston; however, there is serious injury risk involved in drafting him. Still, Foster is well worth the risk because his production on the field speaks for itself. Just two seasons ago, he compiled over 1,600 total yards and scored 17 TDs. With Ben Tate signing in Cleveland, it is unlikely anyone will compete with Foster for significant playing time. Andre Brown is a good back, but will undoubtedly deal with injuries like he has every season of his career. Foster can be a fringe RB1 or strong RB2 for your fantasy needs.
Editor's note: The market may have over-corrected here. Foster, just one season removed from huge numbers, is still playing on an offense which will rely heavily on him to move the chains. He retains a ton of value as a receiver out of the backfield and the team's primary goal-line back. A lot of stock is being placed on second-year backs like Montee Ball, Le'Veon Bell, Giovani Bernard, Eddie Lacy and Zac Stacy. All of these guys might come off the board before Foster. Will they all bust? Of course not, but a couple might, just ask Doug Martin. A good preseason performance or two, or even just one big run would rebound Foster's ADP (29.26) and push him up into the second round.

2.09 | Fantasy Taz - Foster has a great shot at comeback player of the year. Team is already talking about throwing to him more and with many questions at QB, he should get at least 20 touches a game. Most are already writing Foster off, but he is only 27 and I look for a strong bounce-back year for him. |

I ordered the Java bed in a queen size BLACK for my teenage son's room. It took several weeks to be delivered, but was well worth it. I put it together with my son in about 1-1 1/2 hours, and we aren't especially handy. Directions are easy, but just be sure you pay attention to which way you put the side rails in depending upon whether or not you plan to use a boxspring and mattress or mattress only. We did a true platform for him with no boxspring and a 12" foam mattress. He loves it! Like another reviewer said, it does sit a little higher for a platform bed, but we liked that. The only complaint I have is that I had to really look for a nightstand to go with it. Overstock did not really have anything that would look as nice as this SOLID WOOD bed, so we ended up finding a beautiful nightstand at **** that is so perfect with it and well made like the bed. It's called the Magnussen South Hampton. I know this bed is a little expensive, but I think it's totally worth it and very well made. The pictures do not do it justice. ***** has a bed almost identical that more expensive, without free delivery or tax, and not solid wood like this one.
The bed is made of solid wood and seems sturdy. It was pretty easy to assemble. It is a lot taller than it looks in the pictures and it works with or without a box spring. I bought a low profile box spring thinking the height would be just right but it ended up being way too high. It would have been perfect with a mattress only. It is a great value for the money considering that it is solid wood.
This bed is an amazing value. The platform slats are solid and well put together. The assembly was not difficult and took less than a half hour. The wood is beautiful and although it's mahogany, the stain blended well with other cherry furniture in my bedroom. It's very difficult to find a platform bed that's solid wood with slats and that look real nice and not too contemporary. And very comfortable to sleep in. I noticed the difference from using a boxspring vs. this platform that only requires a mattress. I have a very deep mattress so the height of the platform is perfect.
I ordered the black bed, and it is a beautiful piece addition to my bedroom -- exactly what I was looking for. It is nice to look at and very sturdy. The directions were also straightforward, so putting it together wasn't a challenge. I think the hardest part was unboxing everything.
We also purchased this bed for a second home and we were pleasantly surprised at how good it looks. The instructions were easy to follow and it was not difficult to put together. BUT, when I received it the instructions were not in the box! I was on the phone w/Overstock a long time and they said it would take 1-3 days for me to get a copy of the instructions - I was upset b/c I had open both boxes and had parts all over my house. But, I decided to email the manufacturer about my problem and the next morning they emailed me a pdf of the instructions, which made me happy. I would recommend this bed, but just make sure the instructions are there before you take everything out!
Delivery process was painless. The delivery men set it up in next to no time. Lots of well secured slats. Color of wood matchez my antique furniture. My Neighbor helped me install the mattress, With a Laura Ashley comforter set my guest bedroom is now beautiful! All I need is an attractive area rug.
Ordered based on other reviews. It's a stunning piece of solid wood furniture. Looks like a designer-label and is just beautiful. Received "gold level" shipping, which meant the shippers set up the bed and removed the boxes. Highly recommend if you're looking for a platform bed.
This bed came in two boxes. Very easy to assemble. I did it by myself in about an hour or less. No need to worry if you don't have someone to assist. High quality bed for a reasonable price. Using it with mattress only.
My boyfriend and I put the bed together in less than hour. The directions were easy to follow. I defintely would recommend this bed. It looks great and seems to be very sturdy.
We purchased this bed for the master bedroom in our second home and are very pleased. It arrived in 4 days, assembled easily and is quite sturdy. The look is clean, classy and contemporary. For a platform bed, it sits tall which added to it's appeal for us. Overall an excellent value.

"Within the last few decades the microprocessor has developed at a rapid pace creating in its wake a large number of technologies and applications like mobiles, laptops, desktop supercomputers and so on . Aerospace vehicles were and continue to be at the forefront of exploiting these "embedded control systems" . The huge surge in computational power has enabled better modeling and control of complex aerospace systems including hardware and software. At the same time the complexity of onboard software has also grown exponentially. The design of control for aerospace vehicles falls within the area of "Safety critical systems" . In such systems a large part of the design is driven by the need to maintain safety, because the consequences of a failure can be catastrophic . It is not hard to imagine the public outcry when a 300 seater passenger aircraft crashes or a missile falls in the wrong place . In this talk the speaker will explain how model based design of control systems promises to be a powerful tool for safety critical aerospace control systems ."

Bought 'New' but Got Used/Waterlogged Board - Help/Fixable?
Hi there,
Thanks for your advice. I just bought a beautiful Kombat 114 that was sold to me as new. I was a bit skeptical because there were some smudges and a few minor marks on it but was assured it was new and the marks were just from being moved around the shop. Anyway, I was too stoked not to buy and took the shop owners word, but after getting it home and preparing to set it up, it seemed a bit heavy. Checked the specs online and it is supposed to be about 17 lbs (7.55 kg with the Tufskin), but when I weighed it, it came in at about 24 lbs. Then I found what look life a couple of after market repair screw holes on the bottom. Maybe those are evidence of an attempted repair? So, the board is about 8 lbs overweight. Can the extra weight be shed by some drying technique? Will the board rot? Anything I can do? Appreciate the help here. Cheers |

I have been experimenting with the "ISOTEMP 205" waterbath from Fisher Scientific. I have used it mainly for the HercepTest, but have also used it for other markers including CD15, CD30, NSE, chromogranin, ER, PR, Ki-67, and others. So far it has worked well. I generally incubated slides at 95 degrees for 20 minutes (HercepTest - 40 minutes). Immunoreactivity has been comparable to our steamer, but with less tissue loss. R. Cartun

Posted Wed 13th of November 2013
This is the first part to the story of my life if I had it filled with incest how I would like it. I hope you enjoy it.
Jenn incest fantasies.
It's may and the end of school for many and the begin of parties and the unravelling of innocent girls naughty sides. I'm Jennifer McNiell and I'm 17. A brunette with a thin athletic body. I'm 5'4" and I have 32B boobs. I was always jealous of girls with big tits and how they always got guys to do what ever they wanted. I was the girl guys would just be friends with and never get asked out because I wasn't a slut like the big titted girls at my school. However I was the oldest at my school, many guys would ask me for advice on how to get with girls but never tried to get me.
Any way it's the end of my second last high school year and my older brother is having a party to celebrate the end of his high school years. I wasn't aloud to come out of my room unless I was going out. So I went out. I went to go and see my friend Lisa, it takes me about 10 minutes to walk there and as I walk there it's all guys at the party I hear them all saying who they would like to fuck and how they have invited all these girls. As I walk out the door I see Lisa's sister walk in.
"Careful sadie it's all guys in there" I say and she looks at me and smile and then replies
"I will have to all the other girls they invited have gone to the rich kids party" she says as she walks into my house. I smile and just think to myself
"Well I guess my brother the jock and his mates were traded up for money" I smile and carry on with my walk, my mind wondering and I get a call off Lisa. "Hey Lisa I'm on my way. What's up?" I ask and there's as slight mutter from her side and then she picks up
"Hey Jenny. Yh ermmm...... We have the house to our selves and mom said that I can't have anyone else over so there not much to do but I've been chatting to Elliot. And I really like him and I'm stuck on a message be hasn't sent me. Get over here quick. "As she demands this I quicken my pace and walk as fast as I can to her house. My long slender smooth legs shining in the light as the street lamps start to come on. It's hot and I start to sweat as I speed walk my shorts riding up my big perfect ass. I get to her house and let myself in.
"Hey Lisa. Where are you " I shout out.
"I'm up here" she shouts back and I follow her voice and I make my way up stairs and see her on her bed in her bra an pants. A butterfly feeling grows inside of me as I see her, she isn't the skinniest girl at school but she is hot. As I look at her 34F boobs and her round ass I smile and jump on the bed next to this hot blonde.
"So what has he asked you big tits ?" I say jokingly as we always kinda flirt with each other she holds her phone up to me and I read the message. "Well he has only asked if
You want to go on video chat" I say looking at her. "Accept it"
"No I'm in my underwear and I can't find anything to put on." She says panicky "what am I supposed to put on that doesn't show my tits?" I look around and I take off my top and then I get us both two towels.
"Well lets see it we can get him hot?" I say striping off my shorts and shoes. "We take off our bras and wrap towels round your heads and bodies. I will stand in the background whilst you talk to him on video chat then. If you get stuck he will just compliment you " I say proud of my idea. She looks at me shock and unsure of whether we should do it. Then she says,
"How about you just be in your clothes cus I don't want him to see your perfect ass and want you instead" I think for a second and then nod
"Fair enough I will just be in my clothes" I say as I put my vest top back on.She looks at me and takes off her bra unleashing her huge tits infront of me I try not smile and I look at those huge tits and say
"If he saw those he would be all over you" as I look at her perfectly round hanging boobs.
"Well lets wet your hair and wrap it up in towel then put a towel over those giant things" I say feeling my pussy moisten as I walk to her en suite with her to wet her hair in the shower. When we get there she bends over the shower basin and I hold the shower my hand as it runs cold and gradually warms up I hold it over her head and soak her hair. When it is done she rings it out and then then wraps a towel round it and then she looks round at me and I see he big tits and hard nipples dripping water off them and my heart races.
"Perfect lets get the towel on you" I wrap a towel round her and set her up in front of the lap top then video call Elliot.
As the time passes through the torture for her as the video call is being rung I sit behind her waiting upon her to chat to him. As he accepts his is alone and she is smiling at him as they just look at each other. Then he just says
"So this is awkward. Do you wanna go out on a date to the cinema Monday?" She nods and then blow a kiss to say other and the video call is ended.
"Is that it?" I ask her.
"Yh if that's it that's fine with me." She smiles and drops her towel. "Now lets drink". She brings out a bottle of jäger and we start to do shots and she gets dressed in the same amount of clothing items I have on and then she looks at me a little drunk. "Who ever puts their shit glass does last strips off an item of clothing" she pours another glass for us and then we have a shot and she wins.
"Fine then" I say and I strip off my top and I'm in my lace bra. We have another she wins again. "Your good", I strip away my shorts and I'm in some socks. Matching lace panties and that's it. A few more shots later and I'm naked and she has only her panties on. "I best win this one" I say drunk and I win the shot and now we are both naked and out of alcohol. We look at each as we sit on the bed naked. We start to make out, our tongues playing with each other and our lips kissing until we both end up with our fingers deep in each others wet pussy we roll around I the bed playing with each others pussy. When we roll off the bed we hit our heads together and sober up a little and realise what we were doing and we giggles and gave each other a kiss on the lips and got dressed.
"Well it's 10 pm I will leave later at midnight" I say and we get dressed into our clothes again and sit in the bed in rest.
About 40 minutes later her mum and dad comes home and they call her down the stairs. I wait in her bedroom after 5 minutes I walk down the stairs to see them telling her off about the alcohol gone missing "sorry i got you told off" I say out loud and when they see I'm here they let her off the hook and let her go. "Okay Lisa I'm gonna head off i need to go bed I'm soo drunk" I say quietly.
I head off into the night and as I walk out the door and head home i stubble around a little and get to my door and the party has died down and I hear only a couple of voices. I go inside to see my brother and talking with sadie about her boyfriend and how they have sex. I go and sit down with them and a clash if thunder goes and the rain throws it down and we sit there almost all night.
An hour later I am almost falling asleep but can't go sleep as the thunder keeps me up sadie says goodnight and leaves. I head upstairs and go to my room and see the window smashed and my bedroom soaked because of the rain.
"Oh shit" I go to mums room and tell them about my room and they tell me to bunk with my brother on his blow up mattress. I slowly make my way to his room. Slow footsteps and quiet as a mouse I go into his room I see him laying on his bed with his sheets off and his cock out. His long thick cock being slowly stroked as he moans softly. I quietly stand by and watch again for the second time tonight I'm wet and find myself horny. I then close my eyes but then I hear louder moans and I step back a little and then knock on the door.
"Hey Sam. Can I bunk in here. My window is broke" I say and he panics covering his cock and rolling into his sheets. I walk in more wetter than before and he looks at me.
"Yh sure thing sis" he says quickly trying to hide his boner. I walk in further next to his bed and I then ask.
"Do you want me to sleep on the inflatable mattress?" My chest going up and down and I look at the shadow of a tent around your cock.
"Oh just leave it jenn. My bed is a double just bunk in with me for tonight". His voice fades as I pull back his covers but to my disappointment he is covered up in his boxers now.
"Do you mind if I just get into my underwear I don't like to sleep in my clothes?". Now hesitant he stutters and chokes as he tries to speak.
"Erm y..yeh sure " that's all he can say before I strip in front of him. My lace bra and pants slightly revealing my pussy and tits. As the pants ride up between my ass. I get in to bed next to him. My ass against his stomach I lay still and I pretend to shiver.
"Can you hug me tight?" My mind only on feeling his cock against me I stick out my ass a bit more and he moves up and spoons against me. His cock pressing into my ass and I can feel it grow hard and I can feel it twitch each time he edges closer to me. He wraps his arms round me and holds onto my waist. I grab his hand and place it on my shoulder stretching his reach. He relaxes and his hand is now grasping my boobs. "Go ahead" I say and I feel he hand massaging my boobs through the bra. I reach behind myself and slide my hand down his loose boxers and grab his thick huge member and stroke it slowly.
"Do you want me big brother?" I say in a hushed whisper. I feel his nod on my back and I give him the signal. He takes off my bra and plays with my perky tits. As he does so I slide of my lace pants and his boxers. He moves a hand to my ass and rubs it and gives it a pinch.
"Oh god Jenny your ass is perfect. I swear its because you do horse riding" he says. I then stick out my ass more and I lift my leg a little. I reach between my legs and pull his cock through. I line it up with my pussy he feels the wetness and thrusts pushing his cock deep into me. The feeling overwhelms me and I bite my lip to keep quiet. My heart races and my skin tingles as his cock saws in and out of me. I can feel him bottom out in my virgin pussy he leans forward to my ear and whispers.
"Are you not a virgin?"
"I am a virgin. Yours is the first cock I've had but not the first thing to be in there" I say with a little giggle. "I have a very nice brush handle" I bites my shoulder and moans as he hears me say that and starts to pick up his pace and fuck me harder. I now I can feel his balls press against my arse cheeks each time he pushes in and I moan gently. He pulls out and gets up on to his knees I roll on to my back moving my legs either side of him and he slides into me. " go on big bro fuck me" I say and he starts to fuck me and suck my tits. I love the feeling of joy this gives me as he enjoys my pussy and then reaches down to play with my clit. As he does I begin to moan and bite his shoulder harder and I can't control my self. My hard nipples raising and throbbing as he sucks and bites them and it turns me on. My pussy throbbing as he fucks me and making me cum first. My back arches and my legs tighten together and he fucks harder and rubs my clit faster. I can't take it any more. I try to keep my voice under control as I begin to orgasm. The huge waves of continuous pleasure like waves crashing over my body."oh god please cum on me" I moan as he gets closer to his finish. He moans a dn then he pulls out. I quickly grab his cock and jerk it and he soon starts to cum all over my tits and stomach.
"Oh my god your cock is big and shoots loads." I say as be covers my tits. He lays by me and kisses my neck. "Good night" I say rolling back on to my side after licking the cum from my tits. And falling asleep naked next to my just fucked brother

You might want to proof read this for grammar and paragraph it a little better. It was damned near impossible to read in some parts

Maylani, Chieko (2001) The Factors that make Venus try to seduce Adonis and Adonis to refuse her seduction. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Sexual coercion or violence is much more likely to be used by men than women (Lips 145). Yet, the poem Venus and Adonis, presents it contradictorily. Venus and Adonis is the first poem by Shakespeare which he calls "the first heir of ray invention". Believing that Shakespeare is one of the greatest playwright and poet as well, I gladly choose him and his poem Venus and Adonis to become the subject of my thesis. The way Shakespeare portraits a goddess through Venus as the doer of seduction attracts my highest attention to analyze the factors that make Venus try to seduce Adonis. Moreover, I also curious to know what factors make Adonis refuses Venus' seduction since it is uncommon for men not to be interested in sexual relationships. With the use of literary devices such as figures of speech, imagery and symbolism, I try to analyze the factors of Venus' efforts to seduce Adonis and Adonis' to refuse her. Through beautiful languages, Shakespeare successfully dramatizes seduction as a significant matter to be considered. In the poem, I figures out the external and internal factors that make someone commit seduction and refuse seduction. This will lead readers to become aware of the danger of seduction and to be able of controlling passion.

CyRide has suspended service until noon today. They will reassess conditions at that time. Stay safe out there everybody.
Green hills for thy throne, and for crown a golden melody/Ringing in the hearts of all who bring thee love and loyalty/Dear Alma Mater, make our spirits great True and valiant like the bells of I-O-WA STATE! And thank you Stumpy for this:
Due to the street conditions and dangerous wind chills, CyRide has determined that it can not safely operate service and, therefore, has cancelled service for Wednesday, December 9th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but anticipate operating regular service on Thursday, Dec. 10th.
Yikes, hope somebody didn't get a bus stuck out there
Buses were getting stuck last night, but the maintenance crew can dig them out so they can get moving again. They didn't even start service this morning.

Very important lesson learned... NEVER pass up the opportunity to acquire a bottle of Templeton Rye... NEVER.
Yeah I just called and they said they are not in service AT ALL today and will be up and running tomorrow.
